Real Nutrition. Real Simple.
Some of the problems most people have with sticking to a diet regimen is the lack of choices and the desire to have decadent meals. If you learn a few cooking techniques and learn which foods will give you the nutrients you need you can have an almost unlimited amount of choice and very decadent [...]

Okay so I know what you’re thinking…I don’t want a salad I need FOOD! But, this isn’t some girly salad that will leave you wanting more. It’s filling and healthy at the same time. You can also cook everything ahead of time and have this as a lunch if your caloric needs allow steak at [...]

I’ve never been one for taking vitamins regularly. I always buy them and then they end up sitting there for a year until they expire and I throw them away. But, now that my diet is better and I’m paying attention to the nutrients I’m getting, I have also committed to taking a few supplements. [...]

I don’t know if plyometrics is never getting any easier or if I just consistently push myself harder, but this is the only workout where I still feel like it’s just as hard as when I started. I guess that’s good though because I’m still getting a great cardio workout and burning a lot of [...]

The Beachbody people push their recovery drinks pretty hard through P90X, understandably since they make money off of them. If you already use protein or recovery drinks anyway, it probably makes sense to use theirs during the program. I don’t use any recovery drinks because I am on such a calorie restriction. Recovery drinks have [...]

One of the biggest questions I’ve had so far doing P90X is “how many calories am I burning during the workouts”? I read various articles and blogs where people estimated they were burning 1,000 calories during plyometrics and kenpo. While that sounded promising and while plyo certainly feels like it should burn 1,000 calories, I [...]

So I’m officially half way through P90X and I feel like I’ve reached a changing point in how I feel about diet and fitness. Working out has become a habit instead of something I have to try to fit in or dread doing. Sure, some days I still groan when workout time comes around. Usually [...]
